Those Tips On Page One Where Great and John’s Got Three More Tips For Us

I particularly like the tip for using a finish nail gun with long nails in it. All too often when nailing  casings on to door frames you’ll get a nail coming out the side of the frame. I always used to blame the wood frame I was shooting into or the angle I was holding the gun at. Now it all makes sense. The problem is the way these nails are made.  Understand the problem and you can come up with the solution.

Watch John’s solution — he proves it by nailing 1/4″ plywood to 1/4″ plywood with 2″ nails.

    I look at it as 16th’s are ether + or — So I see 48 and 1/2 —
    To try and figure out half of a 16th is stupid and a waste of time.

    My framers always yell “a big half” or “a little half” but that’s why they are framers and not finish carpenters

    lawyer…. when was the last time the tape measure was calibrated by a “certified” technician? how old is the the measuring device? this is lame even for finish carpenters

    I knew number 2 and a variation of 3 (called it long instead of +) but number 1 is news to me and news I can use!

    how about 48 1/2 shy by a CH.. everyone knows, a CH is a 32nd .. everybody .. if you’re not sure, pull it out of your teeth..

  7. Josh Miller said:

    CH may also need to be defined better by using red, blonde or black. I know, now we’re splitting hairs.

    Good tips but i disagree with second and third trimming of the cuts. that works well on pine and other soft woods but unless you have a very thick rigid blade if you try to make a cut like that on hardwoods the blade will flex away from the wood leaving you with an uneven cut.
